One of the best thriller writers around.
Independent
An epic talent
Heat
A real spine-chiller that confirms Ruth Ware as the true heir to Christie's crown. Ingenious plotting sees the body count rise and multiple suspects eliminated until we're left with breathless game of cat-and-mouse.
Erin Kelly, author of He Said, She Said
The sense of dread deepens as the snow falls in Ruth Ware's tensely plotted and deliciously cast alpine thriller.
Louise Candlish, author of Our House
Chilling, claustrophobic and clever. This is Ruth Ware's best yet.
Jo Jakeman
The queen of just-one-more-chapter, Ruth Ware, has done it again.
Clare Mackintosh
I absolutely loved ONE BY ONE! Impossible to put down and perfectly claustrophobic and gorgeously atmospheric. Each twist was perfectly cued and plotted, showing Ruth to be the master storyteller we all know.
Gytha Lodge, author of She Lies in Wait
What a read, oh my goodness, so fast paced, action packed, twisty-turny, modern, clever, scary and ingenious!
Lisa Jewell, author of The People Upstairs
A fabulous psychological thriller and I loved the snowy setting! Incredibly tense and kept me guessing to the end
Emily Koch, author of If I Die Before I Wake
A chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Agatha Christie would have been up all night reading this one!
Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door
One By One has all the elements of a classic crime novel, brilliantly reinvented for the modern era with a dramatic setting, pin-sharp characterisation and up-to-the-minute plotting. It is fast-paced, astute and utterly compelling.
Jane Casey, author of The Cutting Place
Blisteringly good
Alison Flood, Observer
Sly satire and some bracingly unpleasant characters make for a fun read
Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express
With Ruth Ware, you always know to expect the unexpected... in her latest offering, Ruth goes full tilt cutting edge... the action is breakneck, the pace is breath-taking and the need to know whodunnit is all consuming
Lisa Jewell, Foyles, *Books of the Year*
A high-tension treat with a Christie-ish twist... Cold sweat stuff!
Alex Gordon, UK Press Syndication
A brilliant thriller
Bella
A thoroughly enjoyable and consistently inventive wintertime mystery
John Williams, Mail on Sunday
One by One goes full-tilt cutting-edge... Definitely one to be read in one sitting under a fur throw with a mug of mulled wine to hand
Lisa Jewell, Daily Express, *Books of the Year*
Greed, ambition, manipulation, secrets, nifty plotting and a cracking denouement add up to a suspenseful and spine-tingling page-turner
Guardian
An engaging page-turner that will keep you guessing
Daily Express
One By One is a galloping read packed with dark secrets and all the page-turning prowess you would hope for from a psychological thriller and murder mystery
Susan Swarbrick, Herald
The Queen of the modern murder mystery returns with a delicious homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None
RED
Agatha Christie fans will love this ingenious thriller...the pace is fast and furious and the twists satisfying
Good Housekeeping
Books shouldn't really be gobbled down like cake but with Ware's there's no other way
Metro
Ware's novel is deliciously sly
Joan Smith, Sunday Times
This engaging page-turner keeps you guessing
